    Digital Digging: Traces, Gazes, and the Archival In-Between
    Kreutzer, Evelyn; Stiassny, Noga (2022) , S. 1-13
    Traces and gazes have become leading paradigms in dealing with the (visual) history of the Holocaust within academia. This multi-modal project, composed of the following paper and the video essay “The Archival In-Between”, reflects on the connection between traces and gazes, proposing to think of them as a gaze-trace ‘entity’, which resides in an in-between state. Connecting, juxtaposing, manipulating, and fragmenting various textual and filmic traces from the audiovisual heritage of the Holocaust, the project explores this gaze-trace entity in a self-reflexive manner. It performs a theoretical, empirical, ethical, and poetic investigation into the “in-betweenness” potential of the archive footage by digital means. In so doing, the project aims at exploring and demonstrating the inherent potential of videographic methods to study audiovisual memory.

    Exacting the Trace: Re-archiving Film Historiography in PHOENIX (Christian Petzold, 2014)
    Mazor, Yael (2022) , S. 1-14
    The article proposes reading Christian Petzold’s PHOENIX (2014) as another form of what Catherine Russel has termed ‘archiveology’. Turning to Giorgio Agamben’s notion of gesture and its reliance on Walter Benjamin’s concept of language, it suggests that Petzold’s engagement with traces of the past in his film materializes through deconstructing film historiography and subsequently re-establishing it. Thus, PHOENIX emerges as another form of ‘archiveology’ through a reclamation of film history.
